Wilson Mountain Reservation

Its paths offer a hillside nature outing within reach of the surrounding Boston suburbs, with routes that differ from a level neighborhood stroll.

Choose a route from the state’s current trail map and check access notices before setting out. The photograph shows walkers on a wooded trail during an earlier visit rather than current footing or vegetation. Uneven surfaces and changing weather can affect the walk, so wear suitable footwear and carry water. Stay on authorized trails and protect the reservation’s habitat.
